lifted IN cheers. The queen did not wear

The prince of Wales, duke of Edinburgh
and duke of Connaught, her sons, the
crown prince imperial of Germany. the
marquis of Lorne and host of other royal
guests rode in full uniform beside the
queens coach. The queen as she left the
palace seemed to be in excellent spirits and
smiled and bowed graeiously to the people
on every side. By the time the royal pro-
cession got started from Buckingham pal
ace the weather became pretty warm, and
the breeze so refreshing ali the morning
began to subside. While the procession
was passing through Pail Mall, three per
SONS in that thoroughfare were sun
struck. A number of persons along the
route were crushed into insensibility
and were removed to hospitals. Several
policemen were overcome by the heat and
taken home in ambulanees. The horse
ridden by the marquis of Lorne was rest
i've while the procession was moving along
Constitution hill and threw the marquis.
The queen stopped her carriage and asked
the marquis if he was injured. He assured
her that he was not, and walked alongside
the carriage short distance and then con-
tinued the journey, but by q shorter route

linquished his place as one of the royal es-
cort. This led to supposition that he
had received some injnry, but it is officially

emerged from the abbey. She at once
resumed her carriage and returned to
Buckingham palace, this time taking the
route she went after her coronation fifty
years ago. When the royal procession
reached Parliament street it was found
that the road was as densely crowded as 1t
was two hours before, and in some places
more so. Along Parliament street, except
at the government Offices. seats had been
erected and handsomely decorated The

horse guards and alongside the Chapel
Royal was a grand sight. The queen

cheering of its occupants. Passing

whole fronts of thespacious clubs in Pail
Mall were alive with sightseers. Even
staid members of the 1theum club were as
jubiIant as the others. The Reform and
the Carleton clubs Wed with each other in
enthusiasm. A grand stand was also

AS the procession passed into st. James
street the queen took a long glance and
smiled at an aged lady who was at one Of
the windows in st. James palace. Passing
up St James street, the whole OF which
was efusively decorated the pageant turned
into Picadilly, which was packed with en-
thusiastic sightseers who. not content with
having one view at Westminster, had
rushed across st. James and Green parks
to get another view in Picadlily. The

terrible until Wellington arch was again
